Well said. In my experience as a IT manager, I found most of the users to be clueless and not really interested in the processes on the network that they worked on.
I got tired of being saddled with by people who seemed to want to bitch and whine, rather than doing their jobs with the tools provided,.

Subsequently I am no longer an IT manager

Oops

I spoke too quickly. I can't seem to keep my Gnome 3 settings (fonts, themes, etc) after a re-boot on my Mint 12 box. Posted this on Linuxquestions.org a few days ago with no responses so far.

Oh well ??

I had that same experience with my bank over the last five years. some charges on the card did not fit the pattern so I was contacted told to cut up the card and I got a new one the next day. Nice to know that some banks have processes which actually work and staff who are still awake.

Same here. I loaded Mint 12 with Gnome 3 today. The option to use the Gnome 2 seemed like a waste of time. I like Gnome 3, use it on a Fedora 16 laptop. On Mint, everything worked right out of the box, including samba. Good stuff

Well as a longtime Ubuntu user (been there since ver 8.04 I think), I was looking forward to 11.04. I loaded it up and Unity bitched that my computer had insufficient resources (P4 cpu, 3.2 gigs ram, Nvidia graphics card) so I had to revert to the Gnome 2 desktop. However this disallowed my moving my app icons around my screen, desktop effects were a nightmare to setup so I went to Linuxmint (which I have used before) and everything worked fine. Wonder why people are walking away from Ubuntu ?

Have you heard about putty ?

Because I live in the corporate world, I still need to have to have Windows around ( I will admit that Windows 7 is not bad). I am however mostly on my Linuxmint 11 box or my Fedora 15 laptop. Even my wife and daughter are accustomed to the Linux environment.

Well I guess Canonical won't have the time to fix the mess they call Natty Narwhal!!

Katya (Linux Mint 11) rules !!

Trinity in one of the Matrix movies uploading a virus/worm into the matrix network ?

Seems all her Royal Highness needs now is a /. account ...:P

Would no the option of not using Firefox with Firesheep enabled remove the security issue that goes along with wifi browsing? I dropped Firefox about a year ago because it was too slow, too much baggage, I run the Chromium browser or Google Chrome browser almost exclusively. Haven't heard aof any such vulnerabilities with wifi or otherwise there ??

Comments ?
